The BMW i3 is the world’s first premium car designed from the ground up to be powered by an electric drive system.

The result is a vehicle that embodies BMW’s commitment to driving pleasure without compromise.

Since the launch in November 2013 the BMW i3 has gone from strength to strength winning various accolades including UK Car of the year 2014 and Green Car of the Year by WhatCar?

Now, the success story is set to continue with the introduction of the 94Ah battery on both the BMW i3 and the BMW i3 Range Extender models.

The BMW i3 94Ah replaces the current 60Ah model and has a capacity of 33kWh thanks to the higher storage density of the lithium ion cells.

The battery dimensions remain unchanged with more than a 50 per cent range increase in the standard NEDC cycle.

This equals a range of 195 miles in everyday driving.

The motor propels the BMW i3 from zero to 62mph in just 7.3 seconds (BEV) making the BMW i3 both the sportiest and most efficient electric vehicle in its segment.
